Wild Cub

Spring break. What is that? Before this past spring break (meaning last Sunday the 8th to today, the 14th), it was a time for me to catch up on homework, work…maybe go home and see my family. Essentially, it wasn’t all that much of a vacation. However, this year we were on “wizard’s time” for spring break; for the whole darn thing. We were never late, we were never early: we were just right on time every day for every activity we wanted or didn’t want to do. This vacation thing is something else. As J.R.R. Tolkien said in the voice of Gandalf, “A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.”
